In total in the UK, there were 21,290 decisions made with 31.8% gaining some form of protection.

If you want asylum, why not go to the embassy or a border crossing point and officially ask for asylum. If you enter the country illegally, you are not an asylum seeker, you are a illegal alien.

To ask for asylum after you get caught is not an asylum seeker, your still a criminal.

It should be immediate deportation, as you are trying to enter the country illegally.


They're not asylum seekers, they're economic migrants.


A true economic migrant would go through the border with all their documentation.
